MILLIONS OF VICTIMS
have fallen by his expressions; mill
ions more are enthrallcd. Year after
year and age after age have passed
away, but the cry of rcmonstrance,
though often raised, has seldom been
heard or needed. The malignant ty-
rant, steady to his purpose, has rioted
in the carnage, and, with internal eX
ultation, Knocked at the groans Of the
dying and sportcd with willows sighs
and orphans tears.
EVERY DOMESTIC AND SOCIAL BONp
has been disregarded. The peace and
responsibility Of families have been
destroyed. Promising and beloved
sons have been torn from their parents,
husbands from their wives and TAM
lilies, and the tender mother even from
the helpless and dependent offspring;
no tie in nature too tender to be sun
dcrcd. no chord too strong to be
broken, by this unfeelind tyrant.
And we now ask the sUFFRAGEs OF
THE WHOLE WORLD if a domination
Of such unmingled oppression aud.
tyranny should be submitted to any
longer by an enlightened. a generous
aud otherwise free people!
We must, therefore, acquiesce in the
necessity which declares our scpara-
ton from ALCOHOL, and hold him
hereafter an implacable enemy in war
aud-no friend in peace.
We. therefore, the REPRESENTATIVES,
OF THE VIEWS OF ALL TRUE TEMPER
ANCE MEN AND WOMEN in the United
States of America and throughout the
world, appealing to the Supreme
Judge of the earth for the rectitude
of our intentions, do, in the name and
by the authority of all true temper
ancc men and women, solemnly pub
lish and declare that the whole human
race OUGHT Of right to be FREE and
INDEPENDENT Of and ABsOLvED FROM
ALL ALLEGIANCE to, Alcohol, and that
all connection, of whatever kind, be-
tween them and him
OUGHT TO BE TOTALLY DISSOLVED;
ana that while they have no right, as
rational and accountable beings, TO
contract alliances, establish commerce
or conclude peace with him, they
have full power to wage against him
n WAR OF DIFFERENTIATION, and to do
all other acts and things which may
lawfully be done to annihilate dis do
minion from under the whole heaven.
And for the support of this declara-
ton. with a firm reliance on the pro-
lection and guidance of Divine Provi-
dence, we, temperance men and
women, mutually pledge to each other
our LIVES, our FORTUNES and our sA-

 LONDON, May 19.-In the House of Com mons this evening Colonel King Harmon, parliamentary under secretary for Ireland, replying to MT. William A. Mcdonald, Par nell1te, in reference to the remarkable in- crease of emigration from Ireland, said it should be attributed partly to the growing want of employment in Ireland, partly to the fear entertained by the masses that the new crimes act would enable the authorities to punish persons for past violations of the law, and partly to the fact that numbers of the Irish people were forced to leave the country because of their dieinclination to join secret societies. (Parnellite cries of "Oh! ohP0
 MT. MacDonald-"Isnt the increase of em- igration from Ireland partly due to the intro duction by the government of the crimes bill and the desire of the Irish people to escape it's tyranny?"

 Notes.
 A victory for the New Ravens on their own groundsl The first one in nearly two weeks What gentle breeze of relief and satisfaction those sayings created when wait ed about the city last nightl
 It was the Danbury club that the New Ha- vens had beaten It looked at one time as if another defeat was getting ready to loom up before New Haven people on their own grounds and send another chill of dissatisfac- ton and discontent abroad. But it did not happen after all.
 Brill was changed over to the position of short stop and Weckbecker was put at third. They were entirely out of their positions there, as their playing clearly showed. They were away off. Leary pitched and did very effective work, striking out four men and but nine clean hits being made off him.
 The Danburys are gentlemsnly lot of players. They played about as good game as the New Ravens, but their errors were more costly and their base running did not come up to that of the home team.
 At o'clock James Kelly called the game with the home team at the bat. The order of batting had been changed, and Burns was the first one to step to the plate. He hit ball to Cornell, who fumbled it. While Mellon was waiting for a good ball to be pitched Burns stole second and third and Mellon was thrown out n'.' at first. first Troy made hit which struck the third bag and then bounded outside the foul line. Cornell did not go after it, but wanted to know if it was not foul. Troy had got to second before it was tielded in and Umpire Kelly said it was fair ball. Then Heller hit high fly ball to Manlove and as good fielder as he is he failed to hold on to it. Then Crowley made long base hit to Briggs in center field and as the latter let it go by him Troy and Helfer scored and Crow ley, whose legs never flew faster, got to third. A base hit by Brill brought him home. Leary then struck out and Murphy went out on a foul tip.
 At the beginning of the fourth inning the score stood to in favor of the home team. In that inning the New Ravens added one more and the Danburys made two on wild throw of Weckbecker's over Helfer's head, which let Cornell around to third, base hit by Briggs which brought Cornell home, Firth's fly, which Burns failed to capture and which allowed Briggs to score.
 In the sixth inning Danbury scored two more runs and it looked as if New Haven was to have hard tussle to win, but errors by the Danburys and several base hits by the New Ravens increased the latter clubs lead. The score:

 tees Appointed.
 The committee on decorations for the ded- ication of the soldiers monument met last night in the City Hall. The contract for decorating the Green was given to F. Ald ridge, of Brooklyn. J. H. McClunie was awarded the contract for erecting four me- morial arches at the junction of Orange and Chapel streets, an arch just above the High Orange street near the Park, which will probably be at the corner of Springside street, and the decorating of the City Hall and the court house.
 The eommittee appointed three sub-com- tees. They are: Lewis Hotehkiss, John G. Chapman and Frank W. Newton, who are to see that the residences along the line of march are decorated Edward B. Lee, H H. Hurlburt and Commissioner Sullivan, who must see that the extended decorations are done according to contract, and Frank T. Bushnell, E. A. Gessner, Fred Farnsworth and l.. w. Robinson, who will constitute an advisory committee in the selection of mottoes.
 MT. Hubbard said that an excellent place for the reviewing stand would be in the cant lot in front of the Hyperion Theater and adjoining the league club building. His sug- gestion met with much favor from the mem bers of the committee. Frem this point good view can be had of the line. It is said to be 8 much better place than the City Hall front.

WAR ON TRADES UNIONS.

The Employers of Chicago Band. To. gether to Crush out the Tyranny Of Labor.
 CHICAGO, May 19-A bold plan of cam- l paign to settle the great building trades lockout by June 1 and strike @ memorable blow at trades unionism was set on foot this afternoon. At a conference of delegates from every building interest in Chicago, with rep resentatives present from the Illinois Archi- tects' association, the Real Estate board and kindred bodies, the members of which em- ploy altogether fifty thousand workmen, resolution was adopted that from this time forth the signature of the following card of principles by the employe be made a univer- sal condition of employment by all the build ing interests of Chicago:
 s'I recognize the right of every to decide for himself without dictation interference when he shall work cease to work, where he shall work, work and and for for what wages he shall work recog- nze the absolute right of the employer to decide whom he shall employ or cease to employ, to reg uate and manage his business with perfect inde. deaf fnG 1awfuy Justly ~th all men. recognize the right of every father to lawful % h trade a as @ on f plane R witR his right to knowledge of reading, writing or any other branch only by the laws of the land. hereby pledge my self in all my relations and intercourse with my employers and workmen to maintain and live up to these principles"
 There was no debate on the adoption of this measure and action was enthusiastically unanimous, but general discussion sprang up when it was proposed that the same code of principles be presented for signature to every employer with tha pledge thereto changed as follows:
 hereby pledge myself to maintain and live up nc and end y n aid tae to fuence and power for their malntenance ana pro pledge myself not to employ any workman except upon his signature of this card of principles.
 When it was stated that the pledge meant the discharge of every workman who did not were raised, especially by contracting plas- terers, carpenters and stone cutters who are getting along peaceably with their men and are expecting no trouble. All objections were met with the reply that the card con- tained nothing not guaranteed by the consti- that the country had got tired of being tackled by the labor unions. At length tacit understanding was reached that the pledge should be voted upon by the delegates individually, they then to go to their associations and urge it's ratih- cation. The pledge was thereupon adopted unanimously. June 1 was fixed upon as the date when the lockout would be declared off and business resumed with the card of prin- ciples as the base. The council will establish a committee of safety whose province it shall be to see that ample protection to all is af- forded, with sub-committees on grievances, strikes and arbitration.
